I am not a fan of raising taxes when so many tax dollars are wasted on our government being basically incompetent. In this case, parents will have to accept school levies for our kids to be safe. They are sitting ducks right now. The outrage here should be at the system in Broward County. The more information that comes out, the more shocking it is. Forget about the repeated calls to the FBI about this kid, the sheriff station received 18 complaints. No one did anything. The school tried to have the kid baker acted. There is plenty of blame to go around. But, to your point, yes, parents should be willing to accept an expensive school levy to put dummy proof measures in place for the next time both the federal and, local government act like absolute idiots.
Why not something similar. Armed highly trained police officers or Ex combat marines to guard schools. Systems to ensure that no unauthorised people, especially those identified as having a problem, are allowed to enter a school, bulletproof windows. All funded by those who buy guns? Far more expensive and less secure than reducing the number of guns in the hands of the general public.

Don't use this incident to cover all the school incidents involving firearms. Include those where a child took a gun into a school, that shows the extent of the problem in America.
